Meet Capt. Freymann


I have recently come to the aid of another gentleman in the form of creating a journal such as my own for him to make use of. Captain Robt Freymann whom I discover'd in ye book of faces, was desirous to have a journal of his own.
I created all the custom graphics for the Reflections of the Past blog in a very similar manner as my own. If you are interested in having me help you create a blog of your own for a small (and very reasonable) fee, contact me today!

The men carry things down to the boat 

Lewis and Clark supervise the boat loading, my hat didn't fit,
so in every scene with me in uniform... I'm just holding it.

The Doctor & Archery

During my past visit to the Farnsley Moremen Estate, there was held a Ladies Archery Competition, hosted by Mrs. Cooper. After the ladies had their chance to practice, Miss Waterman goaded me to give the bow a try. I did so reluctantly.

As is evidenced in this image, I do not like to receive instruction from multiple women. What can NOT be seen are Mrs. Cooper and Miss Waterman standing to the side and telling me how it should be done.

After a battery of instructions, I take aim anyway.

I manage to strike the target roughly where Napoleon's heart might be, IF he were to have one.

Special thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Cooper for the images.

The 2011 Event Season


HE 2011 event season is rapidly approaching! Now is the perfect time to book the 1780/1812 Doctor to demonstrate at your events while there are still great booking opportunities!

I have, just this week alone, booked TWO more 2011 events... September of next year is ALMOST all taken up.

What can the Doctor bring to your event? Have a look for yourself:


Medical presentation
(a 45 minute presentation followed by a 15 minute Q&A session)

An educational first person presentation for kids and adults alike that demonstrates and explains common surgical techniques of the day. Topics include bleeding, dentistry, musket ball removal, amputation, even cranial surgery. 




Dramatic presentation
(an hour long, first person performance)
An entertaining and educational first person account of life in the Regency era told by the Doctor himself. The story of ‘the Doctor in mourning' is ‘Master and Commander' meets Jane Austen: One part adventure story, one part love story. Discover the true job of a sea surgeon aboard an English ship of the line during the Napoleonic Wars, and the perils of marrying for true love instead of wealth and status.


Full Day rate
(for school or event, four one-hour long presentations)

The most economical way to custom build a day's worth of education and entertainment for your guests. You may want three medical presentations for students during the day, then a dramatic presentation for the adults that afternoon. The ‘Full Day rate' gives you the freedom to mix and match four separate hour-long presentations.

And between performances, The Doctor's first person characterization continues, whether he is attending to the public or walking about and interacting with other interpreters.

From the Movie Shoot

The camp set, located right next to the Clark Cabin at the Falls of the Ohio. The crew kept everything stocked, including firewood. We barely had to do anything!

The Clark Cabin overlooking the river.

Some of the guys from the film, including 'Clark & York' on the right side.

'York & Clark'

Yours truly during an extreme closeup of my hand as I wrote in the period fashion as 'Lewis'. If you enlarge the picture to take a look at the monitor behind the cameraman, you can see what the camera sees.

During the up close shots of just my hand, I could wear my glasses so I could see what I was doing.
